Abstract

This paper presents research in ubiquitous computing focusing on creating context- and activity-aware systems in collaborative environments such as hospitals. These activity-aware systems are able to infer human physical actions and subsequently offer services that support the user's ongoing task. The paper introduces our initial design of an activity-aware recommender system for surgical procedures in operating rooms. Based on sensor input, the system automatically detects and recognizes co-located collaborative and concurrent human actions in the operating room, and uses this to show information and recommend actions to take, which are relevant to the current situation.
